Poem: When a Crescent Moon Enters Stage West
It's about 2:00 a.m., so I am writing a moonlight poem. I'm thinking about adding this to our poetry book that's coming out in June. I wrote this in April 2010:
When a Crescent Moon Enters Stage West
Do you ever look up
at a clear sapphire sky,
and notice the outline
of a crescent moon?
a shadow of white,
a shadow of moonlight,
a prophesy that evening
follows an afternoon
whispers of dusk calls
the night curtain falls
the sun's curtain calls
whispers of dusk calls
the sun's curtain calls
the night curtain falls
whispers of dusk calls
whispers of dusk
whispers of
whispers
whisp
whis

wh
w
and the
sun[sinks into the]set
the moon enters stage west,
the glow of a crescent moon
makes her soft entrance,
and now it's time for all to rest.
